It seems like Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey was a surprise for the actor too. Her Star Wars movie was announced at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year when Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy brought Ridley on stage.
Speaking to Collider, Ridley shared about her experience at SWC: "I was shitting myself before I went on stage, because no one knew I was going to that. No one knew I was going to Celebration, bar like Kathy [Kennedy] and there were a couple of people. I was so nervous. Oh my God. It was such a wonderful reception. I'm very excited. The story is really cool. I'm waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don't have any other updates. It's not what I expected, but I'm very excited."
